I'm getting almost everything I want to play to work through Steam on my Mint build. Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga however doesn't seem to work. No errors and it does something when I hit play but just stops about 7 seconds after I hit the play button, I've tried most Proton versions but it just refuses to work. Any one else get this game to work in Linux?

Although it is not officially supported, this game also works under Linux. I installed it with Lutris and added DirectX with Winetrick, and it worked fine.

The /etc/apparmor.d/steam profile shipped with Ubuntu 24.04 prevents Steam from running with the error "Steam now requires user namespaces to be enabled."

The profile's comment states it "allows everything and only exists to give the application a name instead of having the label unconfined" but it uses flags=(complain) instead of flags=(unconfined), causing child processes like bwrap and steam-runtime-check-requirements to be restricted.

Fix:

Change flags=(complain) to flags=(unconfined):

profile steam /usr/{lib/steam/bin_steam.sh,games/steam} flags=(unconfined) { userns, include if exists <local/steam> }

Then reload: sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/steam

Environment:

• Ubuntu 24.04
• Kernel 6.17.0-8-generic
• steam-launcher 1:1.0.0.85
• apparmor loaded with landlock, yama, apparmor, ima, evm

The flatpak profile in the same package correctly uses flags=(unconfined). The steam profile appears to have been intended to work the same way based on its comment, but has the wrong flags.

Hello, everyone!

Can someone answer my question: Is it possible to run games from Steam in Faugus Launcher? So that they run from Steam.

Sorry, I don't understand it very well.

Hi all,
I'm attempting to play the newest EGS freebie, Wildgate, using the Heroic Launcher. The game opens fine, but it fails at login. Stating that connection to the server was not possible. I have tested a bunch of Proton versions with the same result.

Is there any "global" issue with EGS multiplayer games through Heroic that I'm not aware of ?

I kindly appreciate any help given.

I have an intel/nvidia laptop, and i noticed in hybrid mode Nvidia dGpu stays active and consume around 8Watts.

That's the way it works, so on linux it never get off until you completly start the system with the iGpu? Or what?

I'm on KDE and i also tried to start the system with iGpu, then launch a program checking the box to use the dGpu, but it doesn't works.

I'm not an expert, but at this point i don't understand if there is a configuration issue with my system or if this is just how it works, so with the dGpu always active.

Thanks

Happy New Year guys.

I recently made a game, and the native Linux build is out now.

My self, I'm Debian user so on my rig it runs smoothly, usually use Windows for gaming and game dev, and I've never really tried gaming on Linux before - mostly just regular software development. Now it's become more interesting to explore what experience actually is :D

If you're interested in giving it a shot and spending about an hour to beat the game that I was tinkering with friends, be my guest https://niflforge.itch.io/drownedcaves ^_^! I'd be glad to hear any feedback you have.

Cheers!

NVIDIA is preparing to add native Linux support to GeForce NOW, expanding the service beyond its current list of officially supported platforms. The company has not shared full technical details yet, but the move would give desktop Linux users a supported way to stream games without relying on workarounds.

GeForce NOW already has an official path on Steam Deck. NVIDIA provides a setup method that adds GeForce NOW to the Steam Library from Desktop Mode, so it can be launched like a regular entry in Gaming Mode. Linux desktop users, by contrast, have largely depended on unofficial GeForce NOW apps or browser tweaks to make the service work reliably, and those approaches can break after updates. That looks set to change once Linux support lands.

Alongside the Linux news, NVIDIA is also set to announce GeForce NOW support for a new batch of games. The next lineup includes 007 First Light, Crimson Desert, Resident Evil Requiem, and Active Matter, based on the company’s latest promotional material.

This comes as GeForce NOW is also moving to a 100-hour monthly playtime limit, which we covered in a separate story. The cap applies across tiers and extends to long-time subscribers, changing how much time a subscriber can actually use each month.

my pc specs:
Processor: Intel Core i5-12400F
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, 8 GB
Memory: 32 GB Kingston DDR4, 3200 MHz, dual-channel
Motherboard: GIGABYTE H610M H
Storage:
– Lexar 512 GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Gen 3)
- 2 WD blue HDD each 1 TB

I plan on installing windows on one of my hard disks so I can play multiplayer games and use linux as a daily driver and play games that are supported on linux my main concerns are:
1- does linux work well with nvidia because from what I heard it's a headache
2- I will need secure boot to be enabled for some multiplayer games will that work with linux
3-I heard I could get banned in certain games that do kernel level anti-cheat since they could detect that I'm dual booting linux, does this actually happen?

I already decided a distro which is going to be Nobara (I'm open for other distros if they work better for my setup)
thanks.

A lot of people struggle to use proton outside of steam/heroic. If they want to use outside of gaming or other launchers they either have to use GUI apps like bottles which is not really optimized or using it through entering a bunch of environment variables plus adding it as an actual shortcut is really confusing especially for end-users. This all in one tool that i made can detect proton versions or install them, create wine-prefixes, run proton, and save all of the configurations in a .desktop file (shortcut). The best part is if you used a setup.exe and want to find the actual .exe that will run the app, you can use our smart-listing to help you find the correct .exe. Although this was made with end-user in mind, it comes with a lot advanced options too (such as winecfg, regedit, taskmgr) If you want to find more about proton-cli check the github page. Also if you have any issues/recommendations, feel free to issue it as it will help developing.

Does anyone play WuWa on Linux? The in game brightness will often just insanely go up. Usually happens when I launch the game, but if I load into a training fight or something then load back into the world sometimes it fixes it.

Don't know if this is a linux issue or just a game issue.

I've been using Nobara HTPC for the past few months and for the most part it works fine for my own gaming sessions. Not perfect but I'm not exactly a Linux beginner since I've been using Ubuntu for the past ~15 years so I know my way around with tinkering.

So during the holidays, I had visitors and my relatively new Linux gaming machine was put to test for real. I'd say it is "real" more than when I use it because it's not just me anymore. I'll be fine if something don't work. This time there are other people who will look at me when something goes wrong and watch me troubleshoot in real time LOL

Spoiler alert....it kinda failed....but it wasn't entirely Linux's fault.

Basically we were only able to play on it for a short period of time before I gave up and booted Windows 😅

Here are the issues I encountered
- Human Fall Flat crashed a lot. This is the main game my nephews/nieces play so it's a big deal. However, it also crashed on Windows so there's a probably an issue with the latest version or something. It did work fine after a crash or 2 though so I'll never know if it would've worked fine as well on Linux
- Xbox controller won't connect. This one's annoying. Whenever I test if it connects, it usually connects but when I will actually use it to play games, it won't connect 😆
I'm really not sure what's the trick to make it reliably connect. I use the wireless adapter and don't use bluetooth.
- My 8bitDo controllers were acting up and one of them won't work at all even though it's connected. However, it seems to be an issue with Steam. I encountered the same thing on Windows. The weird thing is that it works fine outside Steam and sometimes the issue is there and sometimes it works totally fine. In my observation, my 8Bitdo controllers have been acting up for the past few months. Sometimes they are detected as one controller and merged as one input. Sometimes they won't be detected in Steam at all. They work pefrectly before these issue started to happen.

So yeah, it wasn't really Linux's fault since most of them also happens on Windows.
What irks me is that I tested this extensively and prepared it before they came to our house. I tested the games they usually play and they worked well. I guess I'm just unlucky LOL

Anyway, it got me thinking maybe I should retry other distros like Bazzite and CachyOS.
I also encounter other issues from time to time when I play myself. Sometimes the game becomes unresponsive after opening the Quick Menu or I reconnect my controller. Or sometimes it totally crashes and restarts the system UI.

So how about you guys? Did you also use your Linux gaming mahcines with your family or other people? 😄
